Business Card Holders

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Business Card HoldersMade these business card holders for a local business. I used some scrap red-oak trim wood from a remodel of the office space above them – they are a sustainability focused business so it fit well.I cut the bottom pieces concave in the front and convex in the back, partly for a little styling, but also partly because I made a prototype out of pine and it warped on me, making it really unstable. This way, there are always 3 points of contact and it'll always be stable regardless of what the wood does.As far as woodworking projects go, this one was pretty simple. First I ripped the trim boards to width and resawed to thickness, then sanded flat. Then I set up some stops on my crosscut sled and made all the length cuts. I kept the sled out and made the slots with my new flat grind rip blade. Worked great and avoided the bat ears my dado stack leaves. Again, a couple stops on the sled made quick work of the slots. Then cut the contours on the bandsaw and finished at the oscillating edge/spindle sander. Hand-sanded the last grit to break all the edges.I tried the acetone printer toner image transfer to put the company logo on the backs. It worked to varying degrees. Check out my blog post for my best method. I still might try a different method all together next time.Then I setup a small spray booth in my bathroom and finished with a couple coats of spray shellac.This is my first project in a long time. It felt great to get back out in the shop. Any C&C welcome :) Thanks.
